Bengkung Belly Binding - NOT AVAILABLE YET, COMING SOON!

This supportive and nurturing postpartum treatment comes from Indonesia. It involves wrapping the abdomen with a long wide cotton cloth. This practice is used to help a new mother recover after childbirth by providing gentle support to the abdominal muscles and the pelvis, promoting proper posture, and aiding in the realignment of the body. The binding helps to reduce swelling, support the uterine contraction process, improve circulation, and provide a sense of comfort and security during postpartum recovery.
You will be given time and space to process anything related to your labor and birth. We will start with a relaxing herbal foot soak and neck, shoulder & foot massage followed by the wrap. I offer guidance for you to learn how to do it yourself at home, as it ideally should be worn daily for 40 days. Additionally, you can purchase your own binder to take home.
